HOME Bargains shoppers are rushing to buy bags of “Dubai chocolate” after spotting them on shelves.
Bargain hunters are looking to snap up the retailer’s own version of the viral chocolate bar that has taken the internet by storm.

Posting on the Food Finds UK Facebook page, an eagle-eyed shopper said she found the “DuBites” in her local Home Bargains store for £4.
Fellow shoppers have been quick to comment jealous at the find, which is £16 cheaper than the real bar version.
One said: “Uhhhh really need to try these.”
Another commented: “Get in the basket hun.”
Meanwhile, a third and fourth simply said: “OH MY CHRIST” and “OMG NEED.”
Dubai chocolate has surged in popularity since 2021, with social media videos about the sweet snack garnering hundreds of thousands of views.
One recently posted by TikTok user CheyanneKerr, showing her on the hunt for the chocolate bar in a shopping centre in Dubai, received over 50,000 likes.
Shoppers looking to snap up Home Bargains’ take on the sweet sensation will have to visit their local branch to get one as we couldn’t find it on the retailer’s website.
It might be worth checking with your local branch to see if it has any in stock.
Remember, you can find your nearest Home Bargains store via storelocator.home.bargains/all-stores.
Of course, as with any product, make sure you shop around and check if you’re getting the best price on the Dubai chocolate bites.
The Trolley website is useful for comparing prices on supermarket products.
Meanwhile, you can use price comparison websites like Price Spy and PriceRunner which scans prices across a wider pool of retailers.
We had a quick look online to see what other retailers are selling the chocolate for, but couldn’t find any cheaper than Home Bargains.
Morrisons is selling its own spin on the chocolate bar for £5, for example.
It’s not the first time in recent months Home Bargains shoppers have been rushing to their nearest shop to get their hands on sweet bites.
Chocolate lovers recently found M&M hot chocolate in stores and took to social media to rave about it.
Shoppers have been keen to get their hands on a new Easter egg based on strawberry and cream pencils too.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
How to save money at Home Bargains
You’ll want to first start by looking in the right place in your local Home Bargains store.
Tom Church, retail expert from deals website latestdeals.co.uk, previously told The Sun the best offers are usually by the front door in a bid to lure you in.
Next, it’s worth keeping an eye out for Mrs Hinch products which are extremely popular and often reduced in price, he said.
Shop at the right time too, which according to one current worker is first thing in the morning, when stock is fresh and you’re likely to get the best pick of products.
